Can my child get ABA Services if he/she does not have a diagnosis of Autism?

No, and Yes. In New York State, ABA can be implemented for an individual with behavioral challenges who does not have an ASD diagnosis as long as they have a mental health disability diagnosis and a prescription for ABA. Other persons (those without a mental health disability diagnosis) would have to be treated by a NYS Licensed Psychologist (or similar practitioner, as defined by the NYS Office of the Professions).

Do you provide services through insurance, and will ABA services be covered by my insurance plan?

Yes, we do provide services through insurance. Coverage varies not only by insurance carriers, but also from plan to plan within a carrier. You must check with your insurance carrier to see if you have coverage for the "Enhanced Autism Benefit". Privately funded plans are less likely to provide coverage than commercial plans.

My child has insurance through Medicaid; do you accept Medicaid for ABA Services?

We are not Medicaid approved providers and thus cannot accept Medicaid for payment of services.

I noticed that B.I.P.S. only provides Applied Behavior Analysis services, while other companies also offer Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and other services. Why should I choose your company over their "one-stop-shop?"

The owner of Behavioral Intervention Psychological Services PC is licensed in NYS as both a Psychologist as well as a Behavior Analyst, therefor we can offer psychological services or behavioral services, but only those services. NYS regulations require that if a company offers multiple services, the owner(s) must be licensed to practice in each of those fields.
